Multi-functional conductive optical films for displays

Abstract

Displays can be used as a communication channel between electronic devices and user. Besides, they allow people to communicate with others in the distance and they also allow people to experience new experiences showing images that the users have not seen or have not been. Therefore, display has been an important electronic device. If displays that support various roles in our lives has more advanced technologies, such as flexibility, vivid colors same as the actual color, and ultra-high resolution technology, it will be more convenient and have improved utilization. In order to implement such advanced display technologies, technically advanced display components are essential. In this dissertation, a multi-functional optical films with conductivity were studied using multilayer structure to realize a more advanced display. Conductive multi-functional optical films covered in this dissertation include highly conductive and flexible transparent electrode, highly conductive flexible color filters, color converging electrode for ultra-high resolution display, and color purifying filter for higher color purity. From the theoretical analysis of the working principle and design or the structure to the practical application for the actual display were conducted.
